The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1887-04-28

Considerable stress was lad upon Liz
size of the vote, but under the circumStan-
ces this was far from remarkable. The
box was carried directly to each voter, and
the greatest liberty in voting was allowed.
Men who openly announced that they did
not intend to support the whole ticket
nominated. were permitted to deposit their
ballot, and in some instances Republicans
known to be such-wbo had a personal pref
erence for one or two gentlemen among the
candidates, it is said, were allowed to vote
| with the distinct understanding that they
would support only the candidates for The
offices for which they voted. In other words,
the whole thing was farce SO far as II car
ried out the strict regulations governing
primaries. The sole object seemed to be to
get q great many ballots in the boxes, no
matter how they got there. This they sue
ceeded in doing, more ballots having been
gathered up than will be put in for tile
nominees when the regular election comes
up. The following is the ticket and vote
